This document is a contract amendment between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Ketcham Appraisal Group, Inc., specifically Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. PL192. The amendment was executed on April 7, 2008, in response to Senate Bill 44-A (Chapter 2009-15), which required state agencies to review and renegotiate existing contracts with private and public-private providers to reduce contract payments.

The contract covers statewide appraisal services, with a revised fee schedule detailing hourly rates for the contractor from 2008 to 2013. The hourly rates progressively increase from $157.50 in 2008-2009 to $225.00 in 2012-2013. The amendment replaces the original Attachment 3, Fee Schedule, with a new Attachment 3-1, Revised Fee Schedule, to reflect the negotiated rate reductions. The contract is for professional appraisal services, procured through a Single/Sole Source method and categorized as exempt under legal services. The payment method is cost reimbursement, and the contractor is Clay Ketcham, who holds MAI and SRA designations.
